Before you bet on the French Ligue 1 midweek games (17-01-2018)

FC Metz v AS Saint-Étienne

Both teams are in bad situation currently in the Ligue 1. It seems FC Metz will need a miracle not to be relegated to the Ligue 2, but AS Saint-Étienne might find themselves in the same situation if they don't start winning points. Surprisingly, FC Metz head into this game in better form than their opponents, but traditionally don't get positive results against AS Saint-Étienne.

  • AS Saint-Étienne have defeated FC Metz in 7 of their last 9 league games.
  • AS Saint-Étienne are unbeaten in all of their last 11 matches against FC Metz in Ligue 1.
  • FC Metz have been defeated in 8 of their last 10 home matches in Ligue 1.
  • FC Metz have won just 2 of their last 14 matches in Ligue 1.
  • Prediction: AS Saint-Étienne @ 3.00

 

Lille OSC v Stade Rennais

Lille OSC have a good opportunity to catch up on their opponents in the standings as Rennais are just 3 points away. Both teams are in poor form and will take their chances against teams from the bottom half of the table. This should be a close encounter in which home advantage might have a key role.

  • Lille OSC have defeated Stade Rennais by margin of 2+ goals in 3 of their last 6 home league matches.
  • Stade Rennais have won only 4 of their last 24 away Ligue 1 matches.
  • Lille OSC are undefeated in their last 17 home games against Stade Rennais in Ligue 1.
  • Stade Rennais are on a run of 3 consecutive HT/FT defeats in Ligue 1.
  • Prediction: Lille OSC @ 2.15

 

Toulouse FC v FC Nantes

On Wednesday night Toulouse FC welcome FC Nantes on Stadium Municipal. The home side are in poor form and are currently in the relegation zone. However, overall they've been tough to beat at home as they have lost just 3 home games so far. FC Nantes on the other hand are enjoying a decent season by their standards under the management of Claudio Ranieri. Both teams are not among the top scorers in the league and only a few goals to be scored in this clash seems likely.

  • Toulouse FC have been scoring an average of 0.9 goals in their league matches.
  • Under 2.5 goals have been seen in 12 of Toulouse FC's last 15 home matches in Ligue 1.
  • There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of FC Nantes's last 6 league games against Toulouse FC.
  • Both teams are scoring an average of below 1 goal per league game.
  • Prediction: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.50
